Watch out this Diwali

This Diwali could be the most scariest of all Diwali's in the recent times. This times the danger is from inside, these people are home grown terrorists. They are determined to cause damage and festive time could be the time when most of us are out in the market buying gifts and the number of scattered empty carton bags are uncountable and unaccountable. This could be the time when most of us could be caught unaware, unguarded. We will have to be extra cautious and do our shopping for the mad gift exchange before the festive season is on the peak such that isolated suspicious bags could be located. I'm tired of this mess happening again and again. I just want an end to it. The other day an innocent 10 year old child was killed as he tried to return the bag to the terrorists. I don't know what they want. What have these innocent people done to them or their families.
